early Mexican Deco silver "caviar" Necklace

A classic Mexican Deco design the "caviar" can be found in all forms, in all gauges of sterling, with or without stones, signed by as famous a name as Spratling or simply anonymous like the sweet version of it I am presenting here. There is a heart-warming sense of intimacy about "caviar" jewelry. Is it perhaps their particular articulation that makes necklaces and bracelets so willingly pliable, they feel as if extensions of one's body? Is it the predominance of the beguiling, all-embracing curve? Whatever the case, there is no denying that this is one of the sexiest (please, excuse and allow me the use of the word here) necklaces ever designed...
